Bus r�utes remain iis now
BY WIII-MA OKE
Mr. and Mrs. Ed Saldivar of
RR 5, °Seaforth, were told at a
Huron- County board of
education meeting in Chilton
Monday that no changes would
be Made in re-routing the bus
that carries their children' to
and from school.
The Saldivars were delegates
at the meeting asking for an ex-
planation as to why their sons
were the first to be picked up in
the morning (8:10 a.m.) by the
tr school bus and the last to be let
off.in the afternoon (4:30p.m.).
Chairman R. M. Elliott said
Oat the transportation com-
mittee had found that all the
pupils on the bus would have to
,,r remain on the bus for a
minimum of 15 minutes more if
the route was changed to ac-
commodate the one family.
The Saldivars and Trustee
John Henderson said they
believed rerouting would not
take 1516 minutes. Both
suggested, .that the bus could
turn in the Saldivor driveway.
When it vg.as revealed that an
official with the ministry of
transportation had said it was
not safe for a bus loaded .with
children to turn in a driveway
on the face of a hill, the board
members did not think it wise
to go against a recommen-
dation of a safety official..In

"permanent loan" basis for use
by all schools in the area. The
film shows the shape and size
of the rooms, and methods and
equipment `used underground

Dod't be surprised if you
don't get a Christmas card
from me this year. Just keep ex•
pecting, and it may roll in,
sometime between Valentine's
Day and Easter.
I wish I could blame it on the
postal workers, who are the
latest villains in everybody's
piece, but I mist be honest and
blame it on the Smileys.
Dilatory, procrastinating and
just plain lazy are adjectives
that could be applied to iii with
impunity. And even with relish,
if your tastes lie -that way.
As I write, I can see from the
corner of one eye 140 exam
papers to be marked in three
nights. As I glance from the op-
posite corner of the other eye, 'I
can see a blizzard that has been
going•on for six hours:"""NeithV "
of these sights is inclined to,
make one's goose hang high.
!lemon*,r, "Life is the life" as
myd`a'ughter remarked at the
age of .six, and., it's been a
family motto ever since. I'm
not sure what it means, but
there is something very
profound behind that simple
observation.
It's really my wife's, fault
that Christmas is not all teed
up and ready to" be sliced into
the rough.
Normally, she's sitting
around brooding about Christ-
mas, this time of year. But this
--year.. she's •`sitting around
brooding about NOT brooding
about Christmas.
How could anybody blame
the poor kid because she's not
fretting about the holiday
season? She has this teaching
position,'
you see, and there
simply isn't time to worry
about anything else. It's a,
tremendous load.
She has -to get up at the crack
of about•8:30, to put hMr"hair in
curlers, you see. Th n,.ohe ,has
A:-
to trudge through the snow�r
94 yards, snow -plowed, to get
to work. There, she teaches for
:35 solid minutes. Most of the
afternoon is spent preparing a
next- day's lesson. Most of the.
evening is spent in describing to
me the horrors and delights of
her "'dai" in the classroom.
Who has time to worry about
Christmas decorations, card;
ttfitt, such'?."
Seo, we have once again made
ouLr_ 13nu(al v.o:ws.._..NO. siards,,:._.aa.
Christmas presents, no time-
consuming, silly decorations.
I can just see us now. Decem-
ber 22nd we'll b,e up"all night
writing cards, licking and stam-
ping envelopes. On December
23rd, we'll be .dashing around
town, pawing through the left-
overs for gifts. And on Decem-
ber 24th, I'll be taking the
name of the Lord and most
biological functions in vain as I
try to prop up a skimpy tree
with a butt as crooked as the
leg of a goat. The tree, not me.
On Christmas Eve, when
most people are going to
church, or listening to carols, or

sitting by the fire, I'll be in the
kitchen, AAlp to my elbows in
turkey 'dressing. I, stways get
this job.
And I know why. Nobody can
turn out a ' stuffing like your
truly. I like it neither dry. nor
soggy, but moist, and with a life
of its own. Luse the standard
ingredients:. fried onions and
celery, bread crumbs (real not
bought) and a good dash of
everything in the spice cup-
board, from tabooed sauce ,to
chili powder.
Add halt` a pound of butter,
melted. Toss in some ground
'chicken or turkey gizzard, with
the water it's been boiled in.
And every time you have a shot
of rye, give the turkey one.
That me ins that you'll get
up in the morning on equal
terms, and after the bird has
got over his hangover, you'll
have a real, liv6-:bird, with a
personality all his own, on your
hands. It does wonddrs for the
inhibited dinner guests, too.
I've heard good teetotalers
say, after three helpings ,of my
dressing, "Wow, one more of
those and ,X could fly". It's
most distressing when they try
it. Keep a firm hand onp..the,
gravy boat when this - occurs.
One must, of course, be tem-
perate in making this dressing.
One year I had a turkey so high
he"got up and tried to fly off cal
platter as I was carrying him in
from the kitchen. That's what I
told my wife, anywayti ..She,
claims 'it wasn't the turkey's
fault that it wound up oh' the.
kitchen floor, in a pool of
grease, with twelve starving
" popie waiting.
But Pm getting away from
my theme; whatever it was. Oh,
yes. Christmas caxds.
Well, a few special ones
sz ` maybe. To O.G. Alexander of
" �Ohidag'd. 'Reads my column in
Kincardine News. Has. taught
school far 45' years 'and is still.
alive. Stout chap!
To Mrs. V.' Gerlach of Stet-
tler, Alta. I agree with you
about welfare and unem-
ployment bums, but keep
happy.
A special hello to John
Sawchuck - who said ' of the
Carillon News, "Paper
wouldn't be the same without
his column." A,:�„ .
And to everyone else who
reads this column: God bless, ,
chaps. Keep fighting. `Life is
the life." Merry Christmas.
